So i've been watching alot of Game of Thrones lately and playing a bit of Skyrim so i feel like listening to some music with a similar epic feel to it. Any sub-genre is good but I'm already a huge fan of viking era Bathory and Falkenbach so stuff like that would be great. Thanks for any suggestions

For quality Bathory clones check out Bloodshed Walhalla, Ereb Altor, especially the first two and Iuvenes, these would be some of the more well know bands in this style. An album quite new to me and one I have been digging the hell out of lately is the uk's Sleipnir. Their debut album 'Bloodbrothers' is like the Viking national anthem! The choirs are huge and music is very epic, these guys need to be more popular, check it out.For less harsh sounding check out Scald, Zeminal and Atlantean Kodex.

I recommend a norwegian black metal band called frostmoon. They only released one compilation album. Their material is more than excellent. It's none of that new borknagar style stuff. It's friggin awesome. Vikingmakt. Thank me later.

Legend's "From the Fjords" is an epic piece of heavy metal - a full album with viking themes with a bit of deviation into general fantasy, and one song in the middle that breaks the theme. Musically, it's a mix of traditional heavy metal and 70s progressive, hard, and psychedelic rock. Something like a mix of Manilla Road, Iron Butterfly, and Rush. http://www.metal-archives.com/albums/Le ... 6rds/40587

Umm, I don't think that Quorthon's viking era vocals are something untoppable in genre, even though I like them more than Darken's. Anyway, in this type of music I don't find the vocals to be as important as in most other usual metal.
